What preparations has MCD made for the Summit? 

All preparations have been completed. Over the last one month, MCD has been working on a war footing to rigorously clean Delhi. Over 11,200 garbagevulnerable points have been identified, cleared and beautified. We have also deployed mechanical road sweepers, water sprinklers and anti-smog guns to scrub streets and footpaths (on arterial roads around Pragati Maidan and venues where delegates are expected to travel) Re-carpeting has been done on major roads and waste-to-art installations have been added at public spaces. About 12,000 MCD workers are deputed in six zones that delegates are likely to visit or pass through.

What are MCD's plans to sustain the beautification projects after the Summit?
